Police responded to the crash on Bolivar Road just after midnight Saturday. Authorities said it appeared that the driver of a Toyota Corolla was traveling westbound when the vehicle struck a wall and then a tree.

The female passenger was identified as Evan Bard, of Agawam, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The unidentified male driver suffered head injuries and was transported to Boston Medical Center for treatment.

Pedra Green lives right next to the site of the accident. She came outside after hearing the crash, but wouldn't look inside the Toyota Corolla. "My heart goes out to the family," Green said. "No family or mother wants to get that call."

Friends say they were driving home from a wedding. "The groom said it pretty well. He said, 'It was at such a high point last night, and now it's at such a low point.'"

Curry College expressed their sympathy for Bard on their Facebook page:

“The Curry College community sends our thoughts and prayers to Evan’s family and friends. Our hearts go out to them at this difficult time,” a statement read.

Bard was a nursing major and member of the college’s cheerleading team.

Nicole Bello was Bard's cheerleading coach at Curry. She calls her the sweetest girl she knows. "Always smiling, no matter what. She was a really fantastic kid," Bello said. "The school, the team, and everybody that could meet her, we're gonna be lost."

Lawyers for the Boston Marathon bomber prepared to rest their case Tuesday after an FBI fingerprint examiner testified that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's fingerprints weren't found on any of the marathon bomb components, but his older brother's were.
